Ultras

How it is used

Use with context about a particular group; the label alone does not establish violent behaviour.

Example sentences

1. The ultras coordinated songs throughout the second half.

   The group organises collective support over a sustained period.

2. Club representatives met the ultras to discuss next month's display.
